This paper proposes a lightweight runtime engine that is the core part of the wireless Internet platform of mobiles devices such as cellular phones or PDAs. The proposed lightweight runtime engine downloads and executes mobile applications in the binary form. Its memory footprint is less than 100 Kbytes and consists of the lightweight scheduler module, memory management module, dynamic reconfiguration module, event handler module, and timer module. The lightweight scheduler can process events 13% faster than a competitive technique which is the widely used thread-based scheduler. The memory management module works 6 ~10 times faster than other memory management algorithms, and the proposed dynamic reconfiguration module also shows a good performance in reconfiguring the platform software.
